These pictures were taken by the Editor and Publisher of Community News a local newspaper. The Editor has covered the gazebo story since it first hit the media after the threat from the City was witnessed. The Editor also covered in person the gazebo zoning board hearings, both of the appeals, the presentation of petitions to the Mayor at the commissioners meetings and as you can see here the 2nd set of petitions out of 6 presented to Sea Isle City Mayor Leonard C. Desiderio. Pictured below are Sea Isle City Mayor Leonard C. Desiderio, Sea Isle City Clerk Teressa Tighe and Louise Clemente presenting the Mayor with the 2nd set of petitions for a gazebo only ordinance.

The one question everyone keeps asking Louise is

Why is the Mayor doing nothing to help?

The Mayor has offered no solutions. Why?

Louise reads the gazebo only ordinance to Mayor Leonard C. Desiderio and the Mayor reads names of the many residents who have signed for the gazebo only ordinance in the Mayor's office along with City Clerk Teressa Tighe and the Editor of the Community News newspaper.

It should be noted that the Sea Isle City Zoning official Robert Bowman who issued the gazebo permit for 19' 4 5/8" was not certified as the Sea Isle Construction official by the State when he inspected hundreds of newly constructed homes and approved them all and their illegal " Bonus Rooms". Now the Sea Isle City Construction official that replaced him, Cornelius Byrnes continues to approve illegal "Bonus Rooms" .

Now the mayor is creating an ordinance to make these Illegal "Bonus Rooms " legal with no petitions.

It should also be noted that the currant Sea Isle City Construction official Cornielius Byrnes is the husband to the Sea Isle City Zoning Board lawyer who said at the gazebo variance hearing that the City had a place for the gazebo and the Zoning Board members kept talking about donating the gazebo to the City even after Louise said no.

These illegal "Bonus Rooms" illegally add a room to a house which can be rented out. That is why the accesory height was changed to 15' so garages couldn't add a room on top and rent them out illegally. There aren't any rooms in Louise's gazebo.

The Governor's investigation should also look into these illegal "Bonus Rooms" that both Robert Bowman and Cornelius Byrnes approved.

Once the Insurance companies find out about the approved illegal " Bonus Rooms" The Mayor is going to be in trouble these rooms are on FLOOD LEVEL.
